The project is designed to provide significant additional energy interconnection between Ireland, the UK and continental Europe with the aim of delivering increased security of supply, fuel diversity and greater competition. It is also designed to provide additional transmission network capacities, reinforcing the existing electricity grids in south-east Ireland and south Wales. The study area is approximately 160km in length and spans the St George’s Channel, including areas of landfall in Ireland and Wales. Its westernmost section intercepts the Hook Peninsula in County Wexford and the easternmost section incorporates an area of land surrounding Freshwater West Beach in Pembrokeshire. -

The declaration of war in 1939 found the Canadian Army without the establishments or organization necessary to carry out scientific research or technical development. This is readily understandable since up to this time, with a few exceptions1, Canadian commitments had not warranted any independent of warlike stores, but largely for their production as well. -

INSTRUMENTS OF SECURITY: THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVYS PROCUREMENT OF THE TRIBAL-CLASS DESTROYERS, 1938-19431 Michael Whitby According to navy scuttlebutt, when in 1938 Canada's Chief of Naval Staff saw a photograph of Britain's newly-commissioned Tribal-class destroyers, he declared "I want those for my navy."' This would have been bold talk indeed. Since its inception in 1910, the Royal Canadian Navy had been a small, almost inconsequential force that received little political or popular support and had narrowly escaped an attempt to have it virtually disbanded. An almost desperate determination to avoid such threats in the future drove the RCN's leaders to go to extreme lengths to acquire Tribals, ships they thought would be too valuable for the government to scrap, and to ensure they were deployed in a manner that would being credit to the navy. The British had designed the Tribals in response to a new generation of extremely powerful "super" destroyers being built by other naval powers? Royal Navy designs after World War I were guided by staff requirements calling for "small handy ships with a good torpedo armament." The results were the "A" to "I"-class destroyers commissioned between 1927 and 1938. The four "C" or Crescent-class destroyers acquired by the RCN in the late 1930s were typical. Displacing 1375 tons with a length of 329 feet and a design speed of thirty-six knots, the Crescents were armed with four 4.7-inch guns and eight twenty-one inch torpedo tubes. These "classical British destroyers"' did not match the latest foreign designs. -
Pfennigwerth
Tribal Warfare The 1935 Tribal Class Destroyer Design in Commonwealth Service By Ian Pfennigwerth By the 1920s, the design of destroyers for the Royal Navy had essentially stabilised around proven principles– they were smallish, sturdy ships with good sea keeping capabilities and a modest range, adequately armed with surface weapons and torpedoes, and with a relatively fast speed. The genre also had the advantages of being of relatively simple design which made them easy and cheap to construct, useful qualities when they were regarded as ‘expendable’. However, by the 1930s some British rethinking of the characteristics of an ‘ideal’ destroyer was prompted by the appearance of newer and bigger models in the orders of battle of other navies. These were not only larger in size, with enhanced range and seakeeping qualities, but they were able to mount more and larger guns. As well, other navies were showing interest in improved defence against air attack, something that had been neglected in contemporary British destroyers. The British Admiralty was an interested bystander to these developments, many examples of which were being built in Britain for other navies. Both Thorneycroft and Yarrow had designed and built ‘super destroyers’ for Dutch, Yugoslav and Polish clients, and the French had produced their own super destroyer class.1 Since these were regarded as ‘friendly’ navies, it was not until the details and performance of the Japanese Fubuki became known that the Admiralty took serious notice of this trend.2 That class mounted six 5-inch [127mm] guns and nine ‘Long Lance’ torpedoes in a 1750 ton displacement hull capable of 35 knots.3 The reason for building larger destroyers (with a heavy gun armament at the expense of torpedoes) was to match the gun power of the larger destroyers being built by foreign powers, especially the 23 Japanese destroyers of the “Fubuki” class.4 Finally, in 1934 the decision was taken that a new class of ‘V Leaders’ – larger ships to act as the leader of flotillas of other destroyers - should be constructed. -
